The application
SQLBI Whiteboard does not create an account, does not join a tenant, and does not send telemetry. There is no Application Insights, no crash reporter, and no outbound product analytics in the source.
A Microsoft Store install never phones home. The Store updates it. Any other copy may ask this site once a day whether a newer build exists.
- Check for new versions is on by default; turn it off under Help → Preferences → Updates.
- A GET of
stable.json, ordev.jsonfor a pre-release copy, the same file the download page uses. - If that fails, a request to
github.comfor the newest release tag. - The User-Agent carries the product version. Nothing else is sent.
Boards are local .wboard files. Preferences live under %APPDATA%\SQLBI\Whiteboard (or Whiteboard Dev for the pre-release channel).
LiveView uses Windows Graphics Capture on this machine. The capture permission cannot be saved with the file. After you reload a board, the last frame is shown from the file; Reconnect asks Windows again.
This website
The site is static HTML on GitHub Pages. It does not set a first-party cookie and it has no consent banner.
- The download button on the home page reads
stable.jsonfrom this site so the installer link can carry the current version. If that file is missing, it asksapi.github.com. Without scripting, the same links go to the GitHub releases page. - The changelog page asks
api.github.comto list published releases. - The teaser on the home page is a video file served from this site. Playing it contacts no third party.
What we do not do
- No advertisements.
- No sale of data.
- No cloud sync of boards.
